Worried I’m delusional

Posted , 2 users are following.

hi, ive constantly been worrying that im going into psychosis or developing schizophrenia, and whenever i think of a future scenario i always think that i would think that im imagining the whole thing and that no one else is real and its just my mind trying to trick me. Is this anxiety or am i actually delusional?

    thats very common with anxiety. anxiety can play tricks with the mind. The main thing is to keep yourself busy doing other things. Remember, the future doesn’t exist right now so to find the most joy in life, live in the present moment. Look around for things that are pleasant such as nature and what you are grateful for. . The only thing that exists is the here and now.

    you are overthinking things. not delusional, just anxious.

      okay thank u for the reasurance. If someone was delusional would they be questioning whether they are or not?

    most likely not. If they are truly delusional they believe 100% in the delusion. people with anxiety for instance would tend to question it.
